DAISY Award Recipient for August 2022: Jane Calnon, RN

Crouse nurse, Jane Calnon, from 4 Memorial, recently received a DAISY Award for going above and beyond the expectations of a patient, who wrote the following:

“Jane, a senior nurse professional, came into my room with a smile on her face and asked how I was feeling. She proceeded to tell me the plan: I was to get out of bed, sit in a chair, eat a little something and then take a walk down the hallway. She assisted me, concerned with my comfort and safety.

After I finished my breakfast, Jane returned and helped me stand, put on my robe, and using a walker, we walked the hall. She stayed right by my side and we talked about my condition and I asked about herself. She had such a positive, compassionate attitude speaking about her career and how she was drawn to helping others. She even spoke about being there and helping to care for COVID patients for two-and-a-half years. I know this was a tough time for everyone and her obligation and oath for helping people, no matter what, was awesome and commendable.

Jane made me feel like I was her only patient that day and that my care and comfort was her priority. Her experience and knowledge, along with her dedication and compassion for others, makes her a valuable asset to the Crouse organization. Jane is a GEM! I’m sincerely grateful to her for everything.”

Congratulations, Jane, on this recognition and many thanks for demonstrating the Carepassion that Crouse employees have become known for.
